SAN FRANCISCO: Apple Inc updated its latest share count on Wednesday, putting the magic stock price at $207.04 that would make the iPhone maker the first publicly listed U.S. company valued at $1 trillion.Apple said in a quarterly filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, that its share count was 4,829,926,000 on July 20, less than the 4,842,917,000 it reported on Tuesday for the end of the June quarter.Apple’s stock rose 5.89 percent to a record-high close of $201.50 on Wednesday following the company’s better-than-expected quarterly results.That would put Apple’s stock market value at $973 billion, based on its newly disclosed number of shares.With a mountain of overseas cash freed up by last year’s sweeping U.S. corporate tax cuts, Apple bought back a record $43 billion of its own shares in the first six months of 2018, and its report to the SEC suggested it has continued that program in recent weeks.A lower share count means Apple’s stock must reach a higher price to reach a $1 trillion market capitalization.

It’s time to pit cooler versus cooler, AMD versus Intel, man versus machine… ahem, scrap that last one. We are benchmarking Intel’s stock cooler alongside AMD’s Wraith Stealth, Wraith Spire, and Wraith Prism to see which of these complimentary coolers is the most capable of keeping your CPU sufficiently chilled.

AMD now includes a chip chiller free in the box with every single one of its Ryzen 2 desktop processors. Traditionally we’d recommend either buying a cheaper, OEM option, without a cooler, and spending a little extra on a decent third-party chip-chiller, but are the latest stock coolers good enough to make that extra purchase unnecessary? To answer that very question, we’ve dug out one of each of these coolers and put them through their paces to see just how capable they are.

We’re throwing Intel’s stock cooler into the mix, which is included with some non-K series Coffee Lake processor chips, to see how its long-standing design fares against the rival red team’s. Also, we will be testing Corsair’s platform agnostic H100i V2 cooler, one of the best all-in-one liquid coolers around, which will aid us when comparing Intel and AMD’s lot. But before you say that’s massively unfair, that’s kind of the point – it’s fun to give stock coolers a kicking.

Seeing as we can’t directly compare Intel and AMD coolers due to the differences in socket design and cooler brackets, we instead will be utilising two different processors: the Intel i5 8400, and the AMD Ryzen 5 2600.

Is there any debate in the tech space more tiresome than Android versus iOS? Maybe Mac versus PC? If you’re deeply entrenched in the Android world, there’s one other argument you’ve probably heard and maybe even participated in dozens of times over the last decade — stock Android versus … pretty much everything else.

For years, stock Android essentially just meant whatever the operating system looked like on Google’s own Nexus and Pixel phones — though these days even that’s a bit of a loose definition, with the Pixel getting its own unique features like Now Playing and Active Edge. Still, what we see on the Pixel 2 and Android One phones can be roughly equated to stock Android; it’s Google’s pure vision of Android, devoid of any unnecessary software additions from your phone’s carrier or manufacturer.

Depending on your stance, that barebones approach can either be stock Android’s strongest or weakest point; with such a short list of pre-installed apps, you get a great-looking clean interface that would please any minimalist, but you also start to miss out on features and innovations that other manufacturers have built into their “forked” versions of Android.

Samsung has built a reputation over the years with its heavy-handed approach to software, and while it always runs the risk of overloading users with too many features (or doubling Google’s services with redundant features in its own apps), it’s also led to a number of great new features, some of which eventually made their way to stock Android — namely split-screen multitasking. Similarly, HTC’s Edge Sense technology, first introduced on the U11, was integrated into the Pixel 2 and 2 XL.

Stock Android tends to be great if you live that Google-powered life.

A lot of the best features in various phones don’t make it to stock Android at all, though. The LG V30 still has the uncontested best camera app for recording video, with a wide range of manual video controls and even the ability to shoot in Cine-Log. The BlackBerry KEY2 lets you selectively store photos in an encrypted locker that won’t upload to cloud storage or appear in your gallery. The Galaxy S9 allows you to create a separate instance of certain apps like Snapchat for quickly and easily managing multiple accounts.

Stock Android is great; it remains my personal preference in most cases since I live a mostly Google-powered life. However, depending on your needs it isn’t necessarily the complete package. As a video producer and enthusiast, I would love to be able to take advantage of the V30’s video capabilities, but alas — stock Android’s options are very limited when it comes to filming. Even if you operate exclusively on Google services, it’s easy enough to disable or hide the majority of unwanted apps on a non-stock phone and still benefit from the additional features included.

That, of course, begs the question — is stock Android still important to you (assuming it ever was in the first place)? Has the smooth, clean experience of the Pixel won you over, or are you more interested in having as many useful features as possible, regardless of the resulting clutter?
